A Simulation Study of Multi-electrode Uniplanar Capacitance Sensor Using ANSYS Software

Multi-electrode uniplanar capacitive sensor is a novel damage detection method of composite materials on aircraft.As to direct questions of this detective method,the calculation of sensitive field distribution function of capacitive transducer will involve the capacitance cal-culation in the electrostatic field.In the simulation study,the capacitance can be determined through numerical calculation.How to calculate the capacitances between electrode pairs in the multi-electrode uniplanar capacitive sensor using ANSYS finite element analysis are introduced in this paper.Variances of capacitances when detective materials become abnormal or sensor parameters change are analyzed.The simulation results will provide simulation data for feature extraction of further damage detection and inverse problem image reconstruction.
